Northern Light
Synopsis
Near autumn's end, before the polar night buries everything, a few hours of light a day remain in the village of Sumsky Posad, at one thousand kilometres, North of Saint-Petersburg, in Karelia, by the sea Blanche. It is the Russia of unlimited forests and squares of potatoes. Connected to the rest of the country by a vague muddy road and a piece of railroad, the village lives in a suspended and mysterious time. The inhabitants, strong and inflexible, work quietly: no necessity other than the climatic conditions presses them. It is the happy Russia, still, and cold.

Changing Rooms, by Violette Gitton
César is 12 when his older sister Lou is sexually assaulted. In the changing rooms of the fencing classes he attends, everything is measured by the yardstick of violence. César would like to take part in every fight, but he doesn’t have the weapons.
